Amazing value for money with entry price includes free anual pass in the cost, great staff who make you feel welcome and will always be happy to provide assistance or information. Great place to visit for anyone including those with Dogs as they are welcome...More

This is a working stud farm and as such there is not that much to see. The visitor reception area is obviously fairly new and comprises a small gift shop, cafe with large seating areas and a museum which tells the history of the stud...More

Friendly people, fascinating history and animals and a wholesome good value eatery. The heritage garden was interesting and we could have spent longer here than the hour or so we did. Good for families too with a terrace area and toy tractors, playground and pet...More

I visited with an elderly friend who has always taken a great interest in Suffolk Punch horses.Access for those with limited mobility/wheelchairs/pushchairs is good.
It looks as though most of the staff are volunteers and, without exception, they were friendly, approachable, well informed, and seemed...More

We were greeted in a friendly manner. £7.50 entrance fee for senior citizens. Not a great deal to see but what there was, was extremely interesting. Several Sufflok Punch horses on display and if you to the tractor ride around the paddocks you saw more....More

If you like horses and/or the countryside, you will love this place. We took three lively under-sixes and they had a great day out. There's an activity trail which all three took part in, spotting animals and looking for 'horseshoes' and 'ribbons' around the farm.After...More

After seeing the sign many times and talking about it, we finally got to the Suffolk Punch Trust at Hollesley on Sunday, 9th July. We didn't get there until around 1.30pm, and the site closed at 4pm, so we were a little concerned about the...More

Thank you so much for your comments, it is always a pleasure to hear from our valued guests.
Please come again soon as things are constantly changing and we have our fingers crossed for some ppiglets in autumn.

I was particularly eager to see Suffolk Punch horses in their own county. The Colony Stud did not disappoint. We had an excellent experience. The very reasonable admission price included free entry for a year. There were several horses, some in stables and many out...More

We are all so glad that you enjoyed your day, please return when you can you can always follow our progress on Facebook, twitter or try the website.
We do love our Suffolk's and I am so glad that we can share their story with...More

Like a lot of these places it is possibly better visited with children rather than an excitable puppy but it was so good that dogs are allowed in. We listened to a very interesting talk before walking round via the short route which is probably...More

Thank DaisyLouisa
